and yet it’s also quite incisive with regards the hypocrisies of contemporary existence.At one point, a young girl and her lover are caught naked and post-coitus by her parents, who feign outrage simply so as they can convince the two to academe get married right there and then, naked and stinking of body-juice, on account of the academe young fella has very wealthy parents.The sex stuff usually makes The Duke yawn somewhat in a film, but Pasolini’s academe unabashed approach to it all is infectiously giddy. You find yourself chuckling as a wife instructs her husband to clean inside a pot whilst she gets done up the arse by her secret lover. Woody Allen would later try the same trick in the opening of Deconstructing Harry, when a blind grandma wanders about a kitchen as two folks get it on right beside her.To my mind, Pasolini never bettered this melting point of ideology, farce and religious satire, which is not to say he didn't produce other amazing pieces of work.The Gospel According To Matthew, for example, is perhaps the greatest film ever made about The Life De Christ, being beautifully low-key and purposefully playing down the divinity of the hero.
